I made this tall fish home for my son's betta fish, Kevin. I wanted to use up a bunch of my mixed beads bucket, so two sides are rainbow. On the front I put a Mario mushroom....because who doesn't like Mario? I made lots of openings for Kevin to swim in and out, and on the top I put a small perch for him to rest on. My son is very excited about Kevin's new house, and Kevin seems to enjoy it too

Here are the components before I assembled them. I hot glued the walls together.

All put together!

And of course an action shot:

Update: Here's a picture of the house in Kevin's new home, a divided 6 gallon that he shares with our other fish, Severus Snape. He's super happy in his new home!

Great idea. Kevin looks like he loves his new pixilated tower. I remember my fish tanks when I was little and I was always so disappointed when the fish didn't seem to care about some kickass (what I thought anyways) tank accessory. What kind of glue did you use?

It is really cute, but it is going to get nasty pretty quickly and its going to be hard if not impossible to clean. All of the little holes in the perler beads and the gaps between them are going to fill up with algae and bacteria. Also I would worry about his fins snagging or getting scratched on any rough edges.
